QUESTIONS

Native Solid Timber FAQs

The types of native timber species available for flooring vary depending on the region. Common options include:

  • New Zealand: Rimu, Matai, Tawa, and Totara.
  • Australia: Spotted Gum, Blackbutt, Jarrah, and Tasmanian Oak. Consult your supplier for the specific native timbers they stock and their unique characteristics.

Yes, native timber flooring is highly durable and suitable for high-traffic areas, especially harder species like Spotted Gum, Jarrah, or Tawa. Applying a strong finish, like polyurethane, further enhances resistance to wear and scratches.

  1. Regular Cleaning: Sweep or vacuum frequently to remove dirt and debris.
  2. Mopping: Use a damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner; avoid excessive water.
  3. Protective Measures: Use rugs in high-traffic areas and felt pads on furniture.
  4. Recoating: Recoat every 3–5 years to maintain the finish and protect the wood.
  5. Avoid Harsh Tools: Do not use abrasive cleaners or steam mops.

Yes, native solid timber can often be installed over existing flooring, provided the subfloor is stable, level, and dry. Floating or glue-down installations are common methods. However, unsuitable surfaces like carpet or uneven floors must be removed or prepared beforehand.

Native timber flooring can be eco-friendly when sourced sustainably. Look for timber certified by organizations like FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) or PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification). Using native timbers from responsibly managed forests helps preserve biodiversity and supports environmental conservation. Additionally, timber is a renewable resource and stores carbon, making it a greener choice for flooring.
